bumpage. Anyone know? Paging Dan Ebberts.

Wasn’t gonna bother posting my duct-taped bounce variant, but here it is. This is the one that gets me closest to a working result. The problem is, after the initial bounces stop, they start up again and keep jumping higher and higher.

bounces = 5;
decay = 2;
delay = .2; // delay between animation of nearest units
dur = .3; // unit animation duration

myDelay = (textIndex - 1) * delay;
t = time - (inPoint + myDelay);
startVal = 200;
endVal = 0;

freq = 1 / dur;
mult = (bounces - Math.floor(t * freq)) / bounces;

if (t < dur) {
linear(t, 0, dur, startVal, endVal);
} else {
amp = (endVal - startVal) / dur;
endVal - (amp / 10) * (Math.abs(Math.sin(freq * t * Math.PI)) * Math.pow(mult, decay));
}

Walter: I’ve seen people use the following trick to keep command IDs working from version to version (which of course breaks if AE changes the name of the command)
app.executeCommand(app.findMenuCommandId("Go To Keyframe Time"));

Also, if anyone feels like voting for a suggestion for AE to expose / create command IDs for all internal functions, or to build an event listener that mirrors back equivalent ExtendScript commands:

Turns out someone already made a request for this. For anyone who feels like voting for it:

I’ve had it happen a few times where I’ve opened an old file, set my workspace to a newer layout, noticed certain panels were missing, then tried to reset the workspace layout but still no dice. Not sure what the exact conditions were, so I’m not sure how to replicate.

Anyway, yup, I figured I’d have to post on UserVoice, but wanted to make sure I wasn’t missing something. Thanks!

8 years later … is it still the case that expressions don’t have access to the work area in / out points?
